Mike Leaver

Mike Leaver lives off-grid in a self-converted, static truck in Snowdonia. In just four years, he has written his two-part autobiography and first three saga novels - all largely on an old laptop by candlelight in his lorry! Like Alan Bennett's London character The Lady in The Van , 71-year-old Mike has become a well-known eccentric around his adopted home in North Wales, and throughout the UK, thanks to media publicity. He enjoys outdoor adventure, table tennis, and chess.
